huge

Far beyond big

Huge means very large in size, extent, or degree.

A huge building towers over its surroundings; a huge mistake has serious consequences.

The word carries more emphasis than big or large but less than enormous or colossal.

Informally, huge can mean significant or successful: That album was huge in the nineties.
